Chickenpox is unrelated to chickens

[worldofice]

Since I have had the deep misfortune to hear this far too many times in the last few days, allow me to make it absolutely clear that chickens do not cause chickenpox.

If you suffer from the latter disease, you have clearly not followed UEA protocol for deep space travel, and your vaccination status is woefully out of date. Report to sickbay immediately or leave the planet.

For those who are to go on the expedition this coming week, you are also required to report to sickbay independent of your views on chickenpox. A health check is mandatory for those spending time on surface.

What about other unchartered diseases caused by the pores of my chickens spontaneously releasing liquid?

What are you expecting to find? New diseases take longer than three months to evolve.

Hello. I will be accompanying team 2 on their expedition to the water's edge. While I am fully vaccinated and take all necessary precautions, I agree that a check-up would be needed before departure. Do you require appointments? If so, what are the open time slots? If you do not require an appointment for the check-up, how soon would you like to see me? Now or closer to the mission? I'm amenable to any timing, assuming that I'm not currently filming. Granted, given that it's always sunny on Izunagi, there really isn't a bad time to film that I wouldn't be able to adjust my schedule to accommodate visiting the medbay.

Should I be concerned that people are mistaking something else for chickenpox? Like smallpox, perhaps?

When do you want me to present myself for your perusal?

Oh! You must be the other doctor Ryou was talking about!

...are people really thinking chicken pox comes from chickens? That's silly.

When do you want me?

I'm too busy for a health check. Sorry.

[wildlionchef]

When would you like to see me, Doctor?

[oh_choutarou]

My working hours are flexible enough I can stop by at your convenience.

Have fun with all the health checks.

And it might be good for someone to do a basic first aid refresher with the groups going out since they'll be gone for so long.
